During the summer months, these beaches a jammed packed with swimmers enjoying the sandy beaches and soaking up the sunrays. Just like Los Angeles and Rio de Janeiro, Sydney is just as unique in that it’s a huge metropolis surrounded by beautiful beaches making it an excellent vacation destination.

Sydney is also a great destination point for tourist because it’s so convenient to get around. Sydney’s trains, buses and ferries make for a perfect combination of getting from one place to the next. Rental cars should only be considered if driving out of Sydney to see the other wonderful places Australia has such as Melbourne or the nearby Blue Mountains. However, within Sydney itself, public transportation is actually faster than driving. With Sydney’s integrated ticketing system that permits travel across trains, buses and ferries, locals and especially tourist find this mode of transportation to be the best way to get from their Sydney hotels to an attraction or to the beaches.

The best trip visitors can take while in Sydney is to take the ferry to Manly, which offers a great view of the Sydney skyline and Sydney’s beautiful harbor. A Ferry will take only a half-an-hour to travel from Circular Quay to Manly. It’s a refreshing way to see Sydney. In order to catch the Manly Ferry, head to the terminal at Circular Quay, it’s easy to find, right in between the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge .
